The Baha'i Studies Listserv > There is the prophecy of the seven churches too.
The seven churches in Revelation? Those were actual churches which existed at the time the Book of Revelation was written. The Jensenites combine a lot of bizarre prophecies. They are especially fixated with this notion that the catastrophe will occur as a result of a shifting of the earth's axis. It seems that a lot of early American Baha'is believed this including Mason Remey and Ruth Moffet. This belief seems to come from a misunderstanding of a talk Abdu'l-Baha gave in Egypt regarding trade disputes. He stated the following: " A few days the earth shall roll on its axis, and these fleeting visions will be completely forgotten." Abdu'l-Baha was talking about the passage of time, but many early believers imagined this to be a reference to the poles themselves shifting. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:[email protected] Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
